Briefly... CITY/REGION

Man shot to death in car

An unidentified 20-year-old man was shot once in the right hand and once in the lower back shortly before 7 last night as he was driving near the intersection of Wyneva Street and Wayne Avenue in Germantown, police said.

The victim then crashed in a vacant lot and was pronounced dead on scene. Police had no suspects and knew of no motives.

Fairmount fundraiser today

All American Day Charitable Trust, a charity started by Philadelphians to support local needs, will host its annual fundraiser today at the VFW post at 24th and Aspen streets in Fairmount. Attendees can donate $75 for a guided tour of city that starts at 11 a.m. or $50 to attend a 1 p.m. party at the post. Proceeds from previous fundraisers have benefited veterans. This year, organizers say the fundraiser will benefit Philabundance and the Fraternal Order of Police Lodge 5 Survivor's Fund. For more info, visit www.allamericanday.org.

Swine-flu vaccine is coming

Clinics around Pennsylvania will offer the swine-flu vaccine to people who are considered most vulnerable to the virus. They include pregnant women, people between the age of six months and 24 years, health-care providers, caregivers of children under six months and those under 65 with medical conditions.

The state Department of Health said yesterday that it will hold the clinics around the state from Nov. 20 through Nov. 22. Appointments must be made in advance. People can get more information by logging onto www.H1N1inPA.com or by calling 1-877-PA-HEALTH.

DJ AM's estate files suit

Court documents say the estate of Philadelphia native Adam "DJ AM" Goldstein is suing several defendants for wrongful death.

Goldstein suffered serious injuries in a plane crash in September 2008 in South Carolina and later died of an accidental overdose of prescription drugs and cocaine in August in New York. Before his death, Goldstein filed a negligence and breach-of-contract lawsuit.

Court-race recount ordered

Pennsylvania Secretary of State Pedro Cortes is ordering a statewide recount of ballots cast for four open seats on the state Superior Court. The recount may cost taxpayers as much as $1.3 million.

Cortes ordered the recount after one of three runners-up in a tight race for the last seat on the court - Pittsburgh lawyer Temp Smith - failed to waive his right to the recount. Cortes had given Smith extra time to make up his mind, but the 4 p.m. deadline yesterday passed without any word from Smith.
